Benediction Prayer
A benediction is a covering prayer spoken after you have prayed or ministered to someone.
It is not a ritual. It is wisdom.
A benediction intentionally covers every area of your life after ministry. It is a way of placing yourself back under God’s protection and authority once you have poured out spiritually.
A covering prayer includes:
• Your spirit, soul, and body
• Your health and strength
• Your family and relationships
• Your finances and provision
• Your peace and rest
Jesus often withdrew after ministry to pray and realign with the Father. In the same way, a benediction brings closure, protection, and restoration after spiritual output.
It ensures that nothing lingers that does not belong to God and that every area of your life remains covered, aligned, and at peace.
Benediction
Because we are called to stand against spiritual forces and principalities of this world, we must also learn how to protect ourselves and our households after ministry.
Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
Ministering to others is spiritual output. Whenever you pour out spiritually, you must intentionally cover yourself through prayer. A benediction is not fear based. It is wisdom and spiritual discipline.
After ministry, regularly pray protection over these three key areas:
• Relationships and family
• Health and physical well being
• Finances and provision
This pattern is seen clearly in Scripture. When Moses confronted Pharaoh, he did not leave until Pharaoh released every area that belonged to God. This included the men, the women and children, and their resources. Exodus 10:9 (NIV)“Moses answered, ‘We will go with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, and with our flocks and herds, because we are to celebrate a festival to the Lord.’” The enemy often targets these same areas today. That is why it is important to regularly pray protection over your family, your health, and your provision, especially after you have ministered to someone. It is also very important to pray in your heavenly language consistently. There are times when you do not know what to pray or how to pray accurately. In those moments, the Holy Spirit intercedes on your behalf. Romans 8:26 (NIV)“In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.”
God’s Original Benediction
Numbers 6:22–26 (NIV)The Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:The Lord bless you and keep you;the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.’”
This blessing covers protection, favor, presence, and peace. It is a complete covering from God Himself.
Assurance of God’s Covering
Romans 8:38–39 (NIV)“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
A benediction is a declaration that you remain under God’s authority, protection, and love. It closes spiritual doors, restores peace, and reanchors you in His presence after ministry.
Benediction Prayer
Father God,I thank You that You are my covering, my protector, and my source.
I place myself back under Your authority and Your peace.I give You all the glory for everything You have done through me today.Nothing belongs to me. Everything belongs to You.
I declare that every door opened through ministry is now closed by the blood of Jesus.I receive Your rest, Your peace, and Your protection.
I ask that You cover my spirit, my soul, and my body.Cover my mind, my emotions, and my physical health.Cover my family, my relationships, and every person connected to me.Cover my finances, my provision, and the work of my hands.
I declare that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. No assignment of the enemy may follow me, attach to me, or remain near me.
I put on the full armor of God.I stand firm in Your truth, Your righteousness, and Your peace.I receive the strength of the Holy Spirit.
I thank You that nothing in heaven or on earth can separate me from Your love.I receive Your blessing and Your peace now.
The Lord bless me and keep me.The Lord make His face shine upon me and be gracious to me.The Lord turn His face toward me and give me peace.
I leave this moment covered, protected, and aligned with you in Jesus’ name, amen.
